CHARLOTTE, N.C. — The Latest on a prison inmate’s lawsuit claiming a former warden should bear responsibility for violent conditions behind bars (all times local):

2:20 p.m.

A federal jury has rejected claims that the former warden of one of North Carolina’s most dangerous prisons bears responsibility for life-threatening threats posed by inmates and even guards in the gang-infested lockup.

Lawyers for convicted killer Stacey Wynn had argued that during Parsons’ tenure, violent inmates frequently attacked other prisoners with knives and officials often failed to find the weapons. Investigators found a collection of bloody blades hidden in the ceiling of the office used by one of Parsons’ unit managers.

The lawsuit is the first of five by inmates who say Lanesboro’s leaders allowed or even encouraged prisoners to attack other inmates.
